Quantum space to outer space
Ms Kyla Adams
(Graduate Student, University of Melbourne)
From the quantum realm to outer space, physics is weird. The behaviour of matter at small scales can change how some stars end their lives. How drastic can these changes be, and how do we test these theories on Earth?

Why you should care about gravitational waves
Ms Jackie Bondell
(Education and Public Outreach Coordinator, OzGrav - ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery)
From the hundred-year-old Einsteinian theory of 'ripples in spacetime' to their recent detection using the most precise tools ever built, gravitational waves have fascinated us. Hear about the science behind them and its implications in the 'real' world.

Testing Einstein's Relativity using pulsars
Professor Matthew Bailes
(Director, ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, Swinburne University of Technology)
Physicists are notoriously inquisitive. Using a combination of ultra-sensitive gravitational wave detectors and radio telescopes, they are probing Einstein's General Theory of Relativity like never before. It's fun, it's fantastic, it's physics!
Professor Matthew Bailes is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) and an ARC Laureate Fellow. He uses radio telescopes to explore gravity with pulsars, and helped discover Fast Radio Bursts.
